Serving Robbers in Excellent style.

a letter from Mexico tells how band
of robbers were effectually disposed of.
While they were ransacking town q
dozen men ran to the shore, cut small
holes in the boats in which the robbers
came and plugged them with mud. The
boats. were launched and the marauders
see out on their return voyage. Before
going mile, however, the water began
to soften the clay, and the huge log dug
outs began to fill. Every effort was made
to reach the shore, but the openings in
creased rapidly, and soon the boats were
full of water and the occupants were
obliged to jump overheard and cling to the
sides of their submerged crafts to keep
from drowning. About daylight COM
pany of 100 men set out in boats to the
spot where the half drowned men were
still hanging to their crafts. Some, how
ever, had lost their hold and had sunk to
the bottom, while the othcre were so ex-
hausted that they were unable to make
any resistance. The fishermen attacked
them, and soon not robber was left to
tell the tale of their defeat. Their booty
was all recovered. -P ittsburg Dispatch.

son one occasion was called to the
burning Of an asylum for the insane, =
said an old physician, ITO treat several
patients who had been injured or pros
trated by the fire. While applying re-
storatives one woman sprang from the cot
on which she had been lying and darted
back into the long, low basement hall in
the burning building This was filed
with smoke, and knew she would soon
drop helpless to the floor and probably
perish, because where was the man who
would risk his own life to save the life OF
lunatic2
While this question was in my mind
and before had fully recovered from the
shock Of the woman's act, banker stand
ing near me, who had no interest in the
institution and no interest in any Of the
patients, dipped his handkerchief In IA
bucket Of water standing near, tied it
over his face with quiet, quick move
ment, and, running to the entrance OF the
hall, dropped fat on the floor and crept
rapidly into the volume Of smoke. It
seemed foolhardy act at the time, but
several Of the bystanders moved TO the
entrance Of the hall, and dropped on their
hands and knees awaiting Developments.
In d few minutes they discovered the fig-
ure Of the banker coming slowly toward
the entrance, and pushing their way in
they drew him and his burden out

stances, would be invaluable in case

what Horses to Breed.


Breeding desirable class of horses is q
profitable branch of farm industry. Good
draft horses are being bred in large NUM-
bers to Meet the demand for heavy horses,
for draft purposes, in the cities. +f
In the draft horses there are the Clydes-
dales, French draft and English shire,
and they are widely distributed over the
western country. The French draft or
Percherons are probably the most numer-
GUS, the Clydesdales next, the English
draft the least numerous Of all. These
last, says Michigan Farmer, are, how
ever, finding favor to cross on farm mares,
and producing horse admirably adapted
to ordinary farm work The Clydes and
French draft make an excellent cross on
large mares. Superior buggy horses. find
ready sale ct good prices. Good blood,
giving speed and style, is the desideratum
here.

POTASH Fertilizers for vegetables.

Vegetables cannot grow without potash,
for it is constituent of every plant.
When the soil has been enriched with ami
NAL manures, a special application Of pot
csh may be dispensed with, but on lands
MANFRED with exclusively heterogeneous
fertilizers, such as fish scrap, Peruvian
guano, etc, and cropped with potatoes or
some other vegetable exhaustive of pot
ash, an application of q salt of potash,
either alone or OF. fertilizer largely con-
Aeaining it, becomes necessity. All pot
.sh salts are exceedingly soluble. The
nshes Of hard wood yield potash, and for
.nerly was nearly the only source of this
clement; but now potash is provided in
slmost unlimited qualities by the Kainit
mines Of Germany.
